    It will forever be strange to me that Drycha, a free LL, has a nice thematic campaign with her own unique lords and unique variants of tree units AND her own legendary hero. Yet premium Mother Ostankya is a rip-off of Drycha with many of the same units but no effort put into making unique lords or variants for her. How is it that a free lord from 3 years ago had more effort put into them than a paid lord from the most expensive DLC yet?

    I've always thought that Katarin and Kostaltin should have gotten a different version of the Ice Court. Katarin for Ice Witches/Frost Maidens and Kostaltin for Boyars/Patriarchs.
    It's weird that Ostankya didn't get a generic hag lord as well, the hag lords and heroes could have fit into her own version of the Ice Court.

    The fact that they had the audacity to recycle mechanics, no new hag lore, no hag witch generic lord, just a lousy boyar, it is clear they cut corners cause of the planned release date .... and then charge us 25$ for it and then when we said fuck off, they basically said buy it or else we cut the support for the game, says a lot about how disconnected CA is from their customers, yeah CA we get it, costs are up...problem is EVERYONE'S costs are fucking up as well, you think people can afford to pay almost half of a full game for something that is worth maybe like a tenth of it?
    Imagine thinking that you as a company that is dependant on the people buying your product to survive, think even for a second that you have the power over us. I am really curious to see how recieved their next instalments are after this complete and utter fiasco

    Even if you don't buy the DLC you may have to suffer through CA's design choices with this one.
    The AI as this faction is an absolute nightmare to fight against - they make stacks full of Ambushers (with freaking SNIPE they get from a tech) and save up all of their curses to spam on the player. When you fight them, every one of their units is going to be blessed while every one of yours is cursed. It's absurd.

    @Th3_Raven 5 месяцев назад

    Coming back to this after getting my hopes up for the alleged apology update that Creative Assembly is planning for Shadows of Change to double check mechanics on Ostankya since I hard passed on SoC. Hopefully if CA adds more units with the SoC update they fix some of the holes in the line-up like throwing generic Hag Lords into the mix. I would *love* if they added some thematic artillery to her (maybe with them already ripping off Grom with the Cauldron they could steal Arachnarok Spiders from Skarsnik) like giant spiders that shoot giant web bombs or something. Anything with more accessibility than Little Groms since Tier 4 can feel like it takes forever to get to with Kislev at times.
    Clearly it's up to Boris to enlighten Ostankya with War Bear Riders, but getting to her to confederate her (if her AI doesn't perish to Morathi or something) feels like a rough time for the other Kislev factions with how much is going on in their main regions compared to her easier time conquering a small patch then teleporting to Drycha.

  • @Sticksnstones77
    @Sticksnstones77 10 месяцев назад +4

    They could have really gone the full Drycha route and reskinned some units, swap out the Boyar for something like an Ungol Chieftain, change up some skills (and maybe give him a giant spider mount instead of a bear, a chariot, maybe even a mammoth to push some Norsca parallels!) just like how Malevolent Treemen are slightly different to regular Ancient Treemen. Then done the same to the Ice Witch and Frost Maidens to give them some scary woods theming and it would have alleviated so much of the weirdness of this campaign. All the complaints are spot on, this just looks unfinished!

    The absence of hag witch lords does make sense lorewise, they are not exactly leaders of their communities. But it would make sense to have an Ungol lord like huntsman general for Empire.
    And hag witches using old Wind lores just makes no sense, they should have gotten their own lore of magic because they are not Wind casters. They use spirits to cast magic for them. In RPG they have their own lore.

    What really annoyed me about this campaign was that I felt like you had to craft a dozen hexes each turn to maximize your usage of the mechanics and progress. It was kind of grindy to click a bunch of times after every turn. The hexes are also something that you don't use at all for 90% of battles then use them to automatically win a hopeless battle by making all the AI units degen. They really should have thought up a better system for this.

    I’m probably in the minority, but her campaign is my favourite thematically. It just sucks that CA was lazy and didn’t add a generic hag lord. Why tf can she recruit boyars and why in the world would the ice court serve someone who openly practices dark magic (not to mention she is a disgraced member of the ice court, though it’s been so long they don’t remember according to a voice line). Would be much cooler if they added a witches coven which lets your train new witches in the same way as the ice court does. I love her as a character and I love her vibe, it just feels so weird having her greatest generals be an ice maiden and bob the boyar

Having no Hag lord is shitty but if you have to chose hero is better than a lord. Lores of magic yeah its a bit cheap move but i rather have 3 new lores for Kislev than make them have 1 new and dont get the acces to other 3. New units are also brutal. Elemental being my favorite, maybe among top 3 in the game and it looks like Leshen.

With only 2-3 i feel like you cant get the full theme for a lord like ostankya who is so different from normal kislev she is basically not even part of the race.

    Naw I can see the disliking the Stanky campaign. You're 100% right there's a lot of weird inconsistencies within it. It also runs into the same sort of problem that all Wh3 campaigns run into... the game gets boring after turn 50 as you've basically won your game at that point. I think by that point I'd knocked out morathi, and the skaven up north, the sisters of twilight were being jerks so I couldn't get an alliance with them so I took their tree, and I was about to take out the tomb king faction over there before I just got bored and turned it off.

I think she'd work best as a hero you can unlock when playing as another Kislevite lord, which unlocks the DLC units.
